Weekly Republican Address

As we begin the New Year, one fundamental question remains on America's mind: will Washington listen?

Throughout 2009, Americans pleaded with Congressional Democrats to end government bailouts, stop the wasteful "stimulus" packages, and cease efforts for a government takeover of health care. You asked for policies focused on the economy and job growth, efforts to strengthen small businesses and working families. Unfortunately, all we got from Washington was an unyielding march toward growing government-at any cost, forcing costly mandates and taxes on individuals, families, small businesses and cash-strapped states.

Democrats in Washington simply did not listen in 2009.

Americans have been voicing their opposition to the Obama Administration's over-reaching liberal policies and now even members of his own party are joining the ever-growing chorus of dissent; some have even begun switching parties. As Democrats continue their radical, leftist agenda in 2010, moderate Democrats will continue their exodus from a shrinking and out-of-touch Democrat Party.

More and more people are moving towards the Republican Party's core principles of less government, lower taxes, and personal responsibility. Now more than ever, it is time for Republicans and independent-minded Americans across the nation to take a stand, fight back and have their voices heard where it counts most -- the ballot box in 2010.

The RNC is ready to stand by you-the voters-and take America back to a position of national strength and prosperity.

2010: Here we come!
